“Balling” in Love with Sheet Music

I decided to try to make a decor ball with sheet music. I have had a thing for sheet music lately so it seems appropriate to try new ways to add the vintage goodness to my home decor. A sheet music ball?? Yep! It is perfect for any rustic home and would look amazing in a music room. If you love all things vintage and music, this is the craft project for you.

Yep I am “balling” in love! So here is what ya need to make one of your very own. Some sheet music and a styrofoam ball. Break out that trusty glue gun and get to work!

I tore my sheet music into 1 1/2″ by 1 1/2″ squares. I liked the torn look to the edges. I just used a straight edge to help me rip a stack of sheet music.

I then wrapped the squares around a “stuffer” tool. Okay you can use a pencil just thought since I had a free stuffer tool I would put it to use. I used a little hot glue on the tip and stuck the square to the ball. For me, hot glue was easier and faster.

Just keep repeating until your ball is full. It really did not take as long as I expected and I love the result.

Hmmmm….that bowl looks awfully empty…..stay tuned….yep all week I am….”balling” in love! Tomorrow I am going to “ball” in love with fabric. For now I will enjoy my sheet music ball!

Great idea! I have a ton of sheet music and have been wondering what to put on top of my upright piano – how about a bowl of music balls? What a wonderful idea – thanks. I will absolutely be making these.

Oh Angie Sweetie…These are just the cutest. I love these balls covered in music. Does that say Valentines or what? I was thinking that maybe some of that distress ink in red might be cute to touch up the ends. It would give a little color of red to the ball and would even spell Valentine’s a little more. I love it. So cute.

I have signed up to follow your blog. I can’t wait to see what you do with the fabric. Great ideas. Please stop by and say hi. I would be so honored if you signed up to follow my blog as well.

Thanks for the link back to me and thanks for all your lovely comments. I love both your decorative balls. I can’t wait to see the next ones. I love balls too. You can use them in so many places. I love your blog. I’m going to start stalking you if that’s okay. Have a beautiful day.

I made a few of these balls from shirts I got from a thrift store. I bought solid and plaid XXL mens shirt so I’d have more material. They look so cute! I need to add in a few rope and twine balls too.
